Hitachi, a high-class rice cooker that uses a thick and light "driving iron kettle" --Home appliances Watch

Not only can it be cooked deliciously, but it is also easy to use.

The RZ-WW3000M is particular about usability even among high-end rice cookers that pursue deliciousness. According to the company's questionnaire to purchasers of high-end rice cookers, the most important point was "deliciousness", followed by "inner pot" and "ease of use". On the other hand, what I was dissatisfied with was that "ease of use" was at the top, and there were opinions that many parts were washed after use.

Hideki Ban, Kitchen Product Planning Department, Hitachi Appliances, explained the background of the emphasis on ease of use as follows.

"It is natural that the user places the highest priority on" cooking deliciously ", but due to the mechanism of high-end rice cookers, steam and steam are attached to the inner pig and steam outlet, so it is necessary to wash each time. These are the causes of dissatisfaction, so there is room for improvement. "

In order to improve the difficulty of use, the inner pig and the steam port are integrated into a structure that can be easily removed from the main body. In the conventional model, it was necessary to wash 4 points each time, but in the RZ-WW3000M, it was 3 points to shorten the cleaning time. Also, when transporting parts to the sink, it is not necessary to bring small pieces and parts.
